VPS (Video Programme System)
/ PDC (Programme Delivery
Control)
The Video Programme System (VPS) or Programme
Delivery Control (PDC) assures that the TV
programmes you have programmed for timer
recording are recorded exactly from beginning to end,
even if the actual broadcasting time differs from the
scheduled time due to a delayed start or extension of
the programme duration. Furthermore, if a
programme is interrupted, the recording will also be
interrupted automatically and resumed when the
programme starts again.
If the VPS / PDC signal drops out because the
broadcast signal is weak, or if a broadcasting station
does not transmit a regular VPS / PDC signal, the
timer recording is performed in normal mode (without
VPS / PDC) even if it was programmed for VPS /
PDC. If the starting time of the VPS / PDC timer
recording is between 0:00 and 3:59 on a given day,
the VPS / PDC function will operate from 20:00 on the
previous day to 4:00 on the given day. If the starting
time of the VPS / PDC timer recording is between
4:00 and 23:59 on a given day, the VPS / PDC
function will operate from 0:00 on the day to 4:00 on
the given day. This means that if the relevant
programme is broadcasted within this period, it is
recorded correctly. If the timer is not programmed
correctly, the incorrect timer setting stays in effect
unless you cancel it. To cancel an incorrect timer
setting, refer to “Checking, Cancelling, or Correcting
the Timer Programming Information” on page 30.
